Delete I am a climber and would consider it very notable in my own life if I had reached the summit of Everest. However, several thousand people have done so, most quite routinely, and there is very little of substance available in reliable sources about this person, except the fact that he is an adventure guide in Costa Rica, and summitted Everest.

Comment - The subject has been reported in more than 30 newspaper articles (mostly in Costa Rica) as well as being mentioned in a couple of books. The subject may meets the BLP notability criteria, especially WP:ANYBIO which states "People are likely to be notable if they... [have] made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." One could argue that climbing Mt. Everest meets this criteria, notwithstanding the fact that more than 3000 other people have done the same. However, the article probably falls under ONEEVENT, and since it is unlikely to ever expand beyond a stub, I'm leaning toward deletion. - Mr X 00:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Summitting Mt Everest is not notable in its own right per WP:BIO DavidTTTaylor (talk) 17:46, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is clearly WP:BLP1E, a low profile individual who did one thing that 3000 folks also did making not particularly significant. J04n(talk page) 10:19, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
